Be prepared to hate me. It took quite a bit of modification and I do not recommend anyone to do it because its a pain in the ass and its better just to wait for the real Verizon housing to come out. I used to GSM white housing and modified it to fit, for the most part at least.
I also had to use a ****ty webcam because that's all I had to work with that can take pictures in my apartment. You can see that I was trying to hide behind the phone.

This looks awesome. I especially like the two-tone nature of the back and how the white lip looks around the bezel. Upvotes for having the balls and taking the time to do this. Bravo.

If I can find a way to get a hold of a decent camera then I may explain but it really isn't worth it and you can easily screw it up. Also the damn housings are like $50 USD and take 2 weeks to ship from that Germany guy. Who knows by the time you get it we might already have the White LTE Nexus.

Yes, what was once a nice looking piece of plastic is now a mangled mess on the inside. But of course the battery door covers it all up. If this thing gets in water there is no saving it. I had to do a LOT of cutting and shaving and grinding.

You should totally mod it to fit and send the housing to me for me to put on. Ill pay ya ;D
White Housing for GSM Nexus is $25 shipped on eBay for a limited stock, doesn't include the battery door. The barebones Silver goes for $13, so this is pretty good. I snatched one up, as my White Housing is scuffed up but my door is fine.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

MY VERY FIRST OP
Just thought i would share this with the community. It's called high performance carbon fiber vinyl. The great thing is that it does not leave any adhesive residue. I just slowly, carefully tailored it with a razor blade on top of the original battery cover. A blow dryer made the vinyl much more "compliant" and flexible. Hope you like it. I'm trying to do it with white carbon fiber vinyl next. Please let me know what you think...

If you're using the 3m di-noc variant, it's practically bulletproof. The 3m material isn't even vinyl, it's pvc, which is why it's so damn durable. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on anything I want to keep looking nice. The look isn't for everyone though. And depending on how tight/small the corners need to be, it might not be a good fit.
Because the battery cover of the t989 is textured, the vinyl does not stick very well. like I previously mentioned, I used a blow dryer to make it stick much much better. I also have it in a clear hard/soft silicone gel skin so it should last pretty much forever.

For the Vibrant i know they had a white sticker you could put on the front. Sounds cheap i know but it looked pretty slick. The only thing i noticed was a small ridge around the face of the phone however that was kinda nice also for operating the phone without looking.

are you asking where to get a screen, or how to replace the screen?
As far as where, you'll have to do some searching around. Sprint techs like us have the luxury of harvesting screens off returned phones (normally used for repairs)...but epic screens are generally so far and few between i doubt you'd find a tech willing to sell one to you.
If you're asking how, that's easy. Unscrew the six screws underneath the battery cover. Then using a really thin piece of plastic or even your fingernails, begin to pry the area where the bezel meets the glass down both sides and the top (the bezel-back-frame almost fits like a cap on the screen). Then just lift the bezel-frame from the screen in an out then down motion (basically, the top separates first, then you'll have to go down and out to get the bottom part off; you don't want to pry the bottom part straight out so as not to damage the charging port). During this, you'll likely see your headset jack move with the frame, that's ok because it moves pretty freely inside.
Once inside, you'll see two flat Phillips head screws, unscrew those. You won't need to unscrew the third tiny one in the upper right hand corner. There are several cables (3 or 4) that are plugged into ports, just unplug them, nothing fancy. Just make sure you look closely so you don't miss one. Then, the motherboard (which is roughly shaped like an "L" ) just lifts up. Reverse directions to put in a new screen. Easy squeezy lemon Japanesey.

also, the tech at my store is planning on getting the white E4GT, removing the gray, and painting it (he hasnt decided on red or blue). depending on how that goes, i may be doing the same. a nice candy apple red with some metal flake in place of the gray would be gorgeous IMO. i think the gray looks like cheap, crappy plastic

If painting your phone makes you wary or one lacks skills to attempt such a task I believe you can also purchase self adhesive colored skins as well.

I was looking for a battery cover to replace mine and ditch the carrier branding. I love the look of the Int. cover, how it was designed.
Anyway there are a lot of sellers for these things and they range in price from high to low. Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was looking for one. This guy shipped INCREDIBLY fast. Like 4-5 days fast, I wasn't expecting it for at least 2 weeks.
I'm looking for a white one. The pictures seem pretty haggard from the ones I found.
Thanks for posting. I may try it out. Quality and fitment good? It says original, true OEM?
Edit - I caved. You made me do it.
Perfect fit and finish. I compared it to my original and it looks identical, actually fits even snugger. My AT&T one had the slightest bit of movement, one of the tabs didn't lock as good as it should.
You will not be disappointed. I may actually order a white myself. I was honestly shocked by how fast this guy shipped it. It was like 4 days after I ordered from China.
No way these are genuine from china?
But cheap enough... don't have to worry about scratching :good:
i'm going to order one. Just in case, i only had my phone for a few days and seen fine scratchs on mine.
I compared and really see or feel no difference what so ever. I'm extremely picky with this stuff. Seller says they are original, they look and more importantly feel original and MOST importantly fit like the original. Every tab looks the same, paint and gloss finish looks identical.
So yeah...China or not these are legit. Even if they are a copy they are an EXACT copy. Not one aspect of these parts feels or looks fake. Am I making my point?
His feedback is further proof of his quality parts.

Has anyone here tried the carbon back covers? Such as http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Carbon-Fiber...Accessories&hash=item3cc85e55ed#ht_500wt_1180
I'm debating whether to bite the bullet and try it for my incoming white S3, but just looking around for now.

I just ordered one off of amazon yesterday. When it arrives in a week or two I'll post pics. I ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BQVZ2M/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
It's black carbon fiber with blue trim. I really like the pebble blue and am glad I got it. I also ordered a black tpu bumper http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DNLD8E/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 and the fosmon case too. I'll post pics of everything as i get them.

Nice covers. Thanks for the link. I just ordered
Just ordered one as ****ing TMobile didn't include one in the box when I bought it. Idiots. Thanks!

The device didn't ship with a battery cover!?!?!
If that's the case you most certainly should not have to purchase one, in fact I'd be hesitant to even use the device; I'd say a return is in order...

Same as any skin. Remove the back from the phone. Do a test fit first to see that it fits correctly. Then apply. The best way is to line up the holes on the back and then smooth out towards the sides to remove any bubbles
Don't worry about wrinkles. Get it lined up and slapped on. Then take a blow dryer and heat it up. That makes it easy to get on straight and remove creases. It also warms up the glue and makes it takier.
I've never understood the appeal of "skins". Personally I feel you'd be better off with a "slim" case, and under most circumstances it would probably be a cheaper route.
A friend had installed a Skinomi variant on his Droid X, and recently upgraded to a S3 as well. He decided to sell off his DX to a co-worker and had one hell of a time removing the skin, which ended up practically melting to the battery door and back casing of the device.
I have one on my nexus at the moment. Considering upgrading to the s3 as soon as I can play with one.
why buy a skin, when you can buy an entire backcover?
someone buy mine. i have a white GS3, but they sent me a black one. 10bucks paypal shipped USPS first class if you want it. PM ME!

actually, the logo is the SAME logo (except for the obvious fact that the galaxy font is smaller on the US version) as the one found on the US Snapdragon GS3 variants
yes, i have both the at&t i747, and the international i9300:

Logo look the same but the III on the carbon is italic
Is that a case or a replacement back?
I guess it's a case? Oh well. Too bad you can't tag a user on here to get their attention
It's a replacement back - search on eBay if you're trying to find them without trying to bug a user..... they're all over, here's the one I bought and I love it!

MUCH better than any cheap skin you're going to buy with all those awful n00b cutouts on the edges since they're assuming you don't have a heat gun to stretch it out.... by the way, I do vinyl graphics for a living, I know a thing or two about templates when compared to custom cut out vinyl and these even nicer back covers!
I have one of these and I love it. The only problem is the A and the L fell off.

You want to send me your "Y" then since all the hype I've given this thing has apparently caused it to fly off somewhere.... Haha, time to order another one and protect it with a small layer of glue!
